Object picking tools

Adds various object picking related tools.

Authors and contributors to this experimental extension: arthuro555, VictrisGames.

Adds various actions and conditions for advanced object selection. Includes picking objects with the highest or lowest Z-order (for 2D objects), an object variable, and the ability to unpick all objects.

If multiple instances have the highest/lowest Z-order, all of these instances will be picked.
